Han Cojido La Cosa

They've taken the thing
That they mock me to laugh
They've taken the thing
That they grab me to laugh

That I have a big mouth and nose
That they don't find anything good about me
That I'm dark-skinned, that I'm carabali
But proud I feel this way

They've taken the thing

That I've been in mourning since the day I was born
That God didn't make work for me
That they roasted me as if I were coffee
That they brewed me and I stayed black

They've taken the thing
That they mock me to laugh
They've taken the thing
That they grab me to laugh

Chorus
White running, athlete, black running, thief
White without degree doctor and the little black herb gatherer (repeat)

Ah nah Ah nah Ah nah Ah nah sonero (and the little black herb gatherer)
With that I hit the drums hard (and the little black herb gatherer)
Let's do the math (and the little black herb gatherer)
That when it comes to salsa and rumba, I am a true salsa dancer (and the little black herb gatherer)
When it sounds like it sounds, I become a sonero (and the little black herb gatherer)
Cobbler to your shoe, what I am is a rumbero (and the little black herb gatherer)
Rumba!

They've taken the thing, the thing they have tAken
That I got burned, that I got burned
And I've stayed like a charred stick and on top of that they've
Named me the little black man with big lips big lips

They've taken the thing, the thing they have tAken
But what other big thing do I have
That I have a big mouth and nose
What other big thing will I have around here

They've taken the thing, the thing they have tAken
If I don't do it at the entrance
I mess it up (crap it) at the exit
Oh who can be black, what a damn thing

Pretty sure it's suda negra suda which is sweat black girl sweat

White running, athlete, black running, thief
White without a degree doctor and the little black herb gatherer

And the little black herb gatherer
